South Korea has confirmed its first case of monkeypox virus and pledged to strengthen monitoring and response systems as it raised the alert level to"caution" for the infectious disease.
The agency raised the alert level for the infectious disease to"caution", the second of the country's four levels, upon confirmation of the virus case. "The KDCA has been pushing for utilising secured vaccines and treatments ... and additional introduction of those, while the agency is continuously expanding its diagnostic testing capabilities," KDCA Commissioner Peck Kyong-ran said.
Earlier in June, South Korea designated monkeypox as a second-degree infectious disease, according to its four-tier system, with 22 contagious diseases including Covid-19, cholera and chickenpox being included in the same category.The patient, who tested positive on 20 June, is a British man who works as a flight attendant and had flown in and out of Singapore around mid-June, the health ministry said in a statement.
